Sept. 26. 1919 No. 39 A LEMON FOR RIDDICK Cary W. Riddick, congressman from Montana, was handt-t1 a lemon of an exceedingly sour s•nriety by former Governor F'. D. Jackson of Iowa. Iowa, by the way, wa s lam! known a3 the \banner republican state,\ be - s ause of the fact that tn-i republican presidential candidates got larger majorities there than snrwhere else. When a man says he is from Io vz is set down as a rzeublican or , .-ral principles. presumed to be guilty until proven innecent, or vice versa. When it comes to republican- sm Iowa is suppos.?! to represent the pure gtsld of Ovate. Therefore when Ritl.lick wrote to a fointer gov- ernor of that state he expected to get results. and he did, elthnugh not the kind he was looking for. Riddick wrote to Ex -Gov. Jackson making a strong appeal for his sub- scription to the National Republican Weekly, a party organ, ant; a dona- tion to assist in financing a \nation- wide educational campaign fcr bAter Americanism. for closer organiza- tion of republicanism and against socialisni and the increasing Jrift to- ward lawlessness, etc.\ Following is Gov. Jackson's reply: Sept. 9, 1919. - Carl W. Riddick, Washington, D. C. -Dear Sir: Your letter asking my subscription for the National Repub- lican Weekly and a donation to the republican organization has been re- ceived. \I am v. - hat is known as a \stand - pat\ republican and always have been, but I want to say to you in all frank- ness, thi.t if the republican party is going to stand for the 'branding iron' of opposition to the immediate ap- proval of the peace treaty as submit- ted to the senate without amendment, then I want to whisper in your ear that all the subscriptions to the Na- tional Republican Weekly and all the contributions to the republican cau.se will not save the party from final and overwhelming defeat. \The people of this country- are get- ting very tired of hearing about re- publican efforts of'organizationagain- st socialism and the increasing drift toward lawlessness' when the failure of the republican senators to approve the peace treaty and the league of na- tions is stimulating, more than any- thing else, the increasing drift toward lawlessness and anarchy. \The people of this country know what they want. and if I am any judge of the temper of the people, they in- tend to have this peace treaty approv- ed now and without any more delay. I am disgusted with so-called repub- lican leaders and I am not a Wilson man, either personally or politically. On the other hand I am not in fovor of letting the country drift to the devil while republican leaders play horse. Very truly yours, \Frank D. Jackson.\ THE PRESIDENT AND TIIE SHOPMEN President Wilson has earned the right to speak to the railroad shop - men as a friensi. From that point of vantage he proffered them caution and advice wh:ch were none the less friendly because solemn in tone, and which, in their own interest and for the behoof of the entire nation, it is hoped they will accept in like spirit. The President reminded the shop- WORK men that the cost of living has reach-, ed its peak and that its trend may Ekalaka. hereafter be expected to be down- ward. and is crain to fall much lower -- SO soon an the treaty of peace has 4 been ratified. Until after the rat. fication has been accomyplished and all business and industry is put upon a sure footing, President Wilson ex- plained, increases of wages dictated by the maximum costs of the moment would defeat the campaign which the Government is now conducting for lower prices; would advance the rates for transportation and in that way enhance every charge against pro- duction and distribution. These in- creases of wages to meet a tempo- rary situation would be permanent and thOr effects on the cost of living would be equally lasting. Not only the shopmen, but all work- ers and employers --every man, wo- man and child in the United States -- would continue to feel the pressure of excessive prices of all they need for food, clething ansi shelter. Those whose income taxes takes the form of wages and salaries would feel it most of all. Strikes which stop the rate and multiply the CAMS of production wiil only magnify the difficulties. The remedy is quick ratification of ?the treaty. This will put 14 period e to the uncertainty which riakes spec- ulation of every invernent, enter- prise and transaction that ought to be predicated upon sound, stable con- ditions. Neither an increase of wages at the hands of the President nor a stoppsge of work on the part of labor :an afford a cure. The Senate alone has the means of ending the evil state of things. Ratify the treaty. HEAR AMERICA! Every day that passes brings new proofs that President Wilson WAS right when he told the Senate that there can be no escape from the ef- fects of the war until the United States files its acceptance of the terrns of peace with Germany; that is, until the treaty ceases to be a mere memorandum of an agreement and be- comes a binding contract. Abundant corroboration of the President's statement is supplied by the Senate itself. While the prob- lems of the present press for solution while industry and commerce and Government itself linger between peace and war, with none of the cer- tainty of either to steady them, the Republican majority in the Senate slebates hypothetical crises of the fu- ture. Practical consideration of the country's immediate needs in legisla- tion is abandoned for academic dis- cussions of the affairs of other times and other peoples. The American people who are sup- posed to be the Senate's masters and have been waiting with more or less patience for some action that would formally and finally end the war and produce the status of permanent peace. But the Senate has ignored the wishes and demands of its own constituents to hear the complaints of outsiders. Of course, this show of interest in the representatives of small nations, old and new, is promp- ted by partisanship; but whatever its motive its result is unmistakable -delay of peace, postponement of reconstruction, disturbance of busi- ness, hampering of every activity, public and private. Disposition of the railroads is alone a subject to which the Senate should have been devoting a large portion of its time and best thought. Produc- , tion and distribution depend 'n large , measure on the railroads, and what- ever affects them for good or ill has .a corresponding reaction on every in- dustry and activity in the land. But the Senate not only has failed to move but even to give a sign that,it regards the question with serious con- cern. ieantime the Senate, under the pressure of its Republican leaders. lends ear to the representatives small minorities who speak not for the United States but for other nations It is time that the American people are heard by the Senate. County officials of South Dakota have been notified by the state sher- iff's office to strictly enforce the new law which requires every electrically lighted motor vehicle to be equipped with headlight lenses or dimmers which liffuse the light so as not to permit glare to be thrown into the eyes of Irivers of approaching vehicles.
